Lyrics

[Chorus]
Everybody
Get up
Get on up now
Oh, oh, oh
Everybody
Get up now
Stand, let me see you
Get on up now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Stand
For the things that you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things that you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal
[Chorus]
So everybody
Get up
Get on up now
Stand, I just want you to
Get up
Get on up now
Stand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Stand
You've been sitting much too long
Theres a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
Theres a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall
[Chorus]
So everybody
Get up
Get on up now
Stand
[Verse 4]
Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be
[Chorus]
So everybody
Get up
Get on up now
Stand
Get up
Get on up now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
So what you believe is
What you know is right
Get on up now and
Stand up and fight, now
Everybody
Get it together
You got to stand up
One more time
